Fort Portal, Uganda (CNN) -- At first glance, he looks like any other 17-year-old.

Summary:
At first this Uganda king may look as a normal 17 years old boy. His real name is king Oyo, which full name would be Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.He is one of the most youngest kings in the world. He was corwned at the age of 3 when his dad died on the year of 1995. He didn't realize that he was a king until the age of 6. He goes to a private school on the capital city of Uganda, but in there they don't respect him because his the king, they respect him because for who he is, not for what he is."His age brings a lot of financial support from leaders who want to mentor him and see him succeed," says Ruhweza Remigious, 34, a carpenter who lives in a mud hut across from the palace in Fort Portal. Arsenal the favorite football team of king Oyo asked him, so would he have chosen to be king? he paused and said "I'm not really sure if I can answer that question," he says. "Being a king is not easy. Sometimes I wish I could just be ordinary."

Bias: This is really important because with this we can know that the kings also have social lives, that they;re normal just like us.
